If I upgrade to premiere 6 from version 5.1, will it work with the dv now card and if so to install it , will I have to remove the card first and then install premiere and then the fastforward software ???
You should install Premier 6.0 and then the DV.now drivers. The version 1.6 drivers which will be compatible with Premier 6.0 are not available yet.
You will be able to upgrade to Premiere 6 soon:
Customers who bought a DV.now product after 11 November 2000 will get the upgrade to Premiere 6.0 free. Those who bought it before that date will be charged, but the price has not been decided yet. This offer will only be available when Premiere 6.0 is released in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, the languages that DV.now is available in. We hope to launch this offer within the next month. The version 1.6 drivers will be released to coincide with the launch of the upgrade offer. Please watch this space for another announcement soon.

You couldn't make that 31/10/2000 could you?
Thanks for the update, but when version 6 does appear, are you saying that on a system where dv now is already installed with premiere, I will have to re-install the new updated Fast software over the existing version after Premiere 6....and if so , is this likely to cause all my IRQs to do a re-shuffle?? As I had such a headache getting it all set up to work nicely originally.
I see that the USA Dazzle site implies that the Premiere 6.0 upgrade will ship soon after March 15 (in the USA). Considering that drivers are from Dazzle/FAST in Europe, is this a reasonable date to expect the 1.6 (Beta?) drivers to be posted, at least for NTSC systems?
I see that there is a Beta driver for Premiere 6.0 in the Beta Software section of downloads on the dazzle-europe web site. Note the warnings in the readme file first to be sure you want to try it, ther are limitations in the driver.
Has the Prem 6 upgrade offer been made via dazzle-europe ? I have seen nothing on the dazzle-europe site. Is the upgrade available via the States?
Thanks
Gary
The offer is on Dazzle's USA website in the Sizzle\Rebates and Upgrrades section. Should be shippng about now. Not sure what the upgrade policy will be in Europe.
